CHAPTER XVIII
Xia Yitong walked up to her and asked, "I want to know who gave you the Ten Thousand Bone Core, where is your Ten Thousand Bone Core now?"
"The one who lent me the Ten Thousand Bone Core was a fruit demon, and after my brother's body was reshaped, she came to take it, and I don't know where it is now. Tao Zishan held a thin cigarette roll and spat out a smoke ring.
"What kind of fruit is it?"
"Look at the body type...... It should be an apple or an orange or something.,The magic power is very shallow.,It's still round when you transform into a human.。 Tao Zishan chuckled, as if she thought the fruit demon's size was funny.
"Apple, orange ......," she muttered to herself, remembering the lemonade.
Tao Zishan lowered her eyes, her curly and thick eyelashes like Tao Ziyi drooped low, she pondered for a long time, then raised her eyes and stared at Xia Yitong thoughtfully for a while, and said with a smile: "You might as well go back and look for it, it is difficult to survive alone with her demon power, there should be a backer." ”
Xia Yi's eyes tightened, and he felt that what she said was very reasonable, and Bai Xing also said that lemon essence was a demon that someone helped it to become first, and then learned to absorb human jealousy as energy.
Thinking of what he said, he naturally thought of his face, Xia Yitong's heart lit a nameless fire, and he bowed to Tao Zishan very solemnly: "Thank you." ”
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute. Tao Zishan called out to her. "I said I promised that the person wouldn't tell anyone who she was. ”
"I'm not going to say it. ”
Tao Zishan lowered her head and smiled again, as if she thought her words were funny, "A fruit demon who is weak like that, I'm not afraid of her." I returned the Ten Thousand Bone Core to it because I kept my promise, and I was also afraid that the Ten Thousand Bone Core would cause me trouble. It's just that I've always been a man of my word, but now I've deceived a poor little fruit demon, and I feel a little guilty. ”
She spared a big circle, Xia Yitong still didn't understand what she wanted to express, did she want her to repay her?
Xia Yitong was about to speak, asking if there was anything she needed. Tao Zishan once again preemptively opened her mouth, "So, if it weren't for the pressure from my superiors, I wouldn't want to be this treacherous person." ”
She winked at her slyly.
Xia Yitong understood, she was talking about white punishment.
Heh, let Tao Zishan help her, and then tell her that he pressured Tao Zishan to help. Did he do that to make her appreciate him, to make her appreciate someone who had indirectly killed her friend?
"Please tell him, don't let him pretend, if you want to avenge Hao Yile, why don't you go yourself and tell me what it means?"
She didn't wait for Tao Zishan to speak again, turned around and walked out.
Peach Ziyi walked around and sat down next to Peach Son, who fell sideways on his lap.
"Is that okay?" he stroked her hair.
"It's better than letting you seduce her. ”
"But I'm willing to help. ”
She stretched out her hand to caress his cold cheeks, and said with a smile in her eyebrows: "I don't want you to be so good-looking and end up being broken into thousands of pieces." After all, his people...... It's better for us to be less troublesome. ”
"How do you explain over there?" a hint of worry crossed Taoziyi's eyebrows.
She closed her eyes leisurely, "If she can really find the owner of the fruit demon and make a big fuss, maybe we won't need to take action." ”
Since she decided to find the mastermind behind the murder of Hao Yile alone, Harry couldn't go to her side recently, so she decided to go to the store to explain to Harry.
"Well, I recently joined a club at school and may not have time. ”
"Hitomi, what club is more important than making money, don't hide anything from me, I can help you. ”
Harry looked at her with concern in his eyes, which made her feel a little guilty that if only he had been punished for nothing, it would be better to modify his memory than her clumsy excuse.
"It's really nothing. She looked around avoiding his gaze, trying to change the subject, but her eyes fell on the stack of amusement park tickets on the bar.
"Boss, are you selling tickets?"
"Yes, I went to the playground last week to talk about cooperation, and I got the lowest price in the city from me, and I also got a commission if Hitomi helped sell it. ”
She also went to the playground last week, and Hao Yile was still a youthful Hao Yile at that time, but now she ......
Seeing her lost in thought, Harry called out to her, "Hitomi?"
"Huh? Okay boss. ”
With the sound of wind chimes hanging directly above the gate, Harry looked at the back of Xia Yitong leaving, and fell into deep thought.
He lay back in his antique chair and closed his eyes, his thick black eyelashes casting a grayish-brown shadow under his eyes, and his index finger tapped the book "The Queen's Bewitching Husband" next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Leaving Harry's shop, Xia Yitong unfolded the map, which she divided into ten areas, and now moved on to the third area, she followed the map until the evening, and walked through the third area, the area where she thought there was less human activity, but still found nothing.
As the sun set, she sat exhausted on an old park chair, the bench had revealed its original gray-brown texture from years of wind and sun, and the thick dead grass around it seemed to have been crushed by something, all growing against the surface. The pale orange sunset sprinkled on the dead grass makes people feel warm and beautiful.
One or two little frogs jumped past her shoes and even looked at her.
She suddenly felt relaxed in her heart, and the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart all these days had eased a lot.
Suddenly, she thought of something and stood up sharply.
It's early autumn and there's not been a strong wind lately, so what is it that makes the grass look like this? Could it be a monster?
Xia Yitong flipped the pendant, and the surroundings immediately became like a scene with blurred special effects, she looked around, and sure enough, she saw a purple light looming in the depths of the park.
She cautiously walked in the direction where the light came from, but the closer she walked, the more panicked she became, because she could see that the purple light was not a mass but a piece, to be precise, the light she saw was only a little light that came out of the gap after being blocked by the broken wall and the buildings behind it.
The real light had already exceeded the height of the building, spreading to the entire sky behind it, reflecting the sky in an eerie rose purple color from deep to shallow, and there was no end in sight.
Xia Yitong couldn't help but think of Bai Xing's words, the larger the range of spiritual power colors, the stronger the spiritual power of this monster, the spiritual power of Bai Xing should be the strongest in the entire Kaifeng Demon Hunting Team, but it is only as high as the roof, but the spiritual power of this monster is already as high as the sky......
She gasped and prepared to leave before making plans.
The bell of eternal life on his feet suddenly jingled.
Suddenly there was a scream on the ground, and the frog, which had always been the size of the bowl, was wearing a red umbrella skirt and fell at her feet with a javelin as thick as chopsticks, smoking all over her body.
In the blink of an eye, the purple light that spread to the sky in front of it suddenly and quickly contracted, disappearing behind the house.
A lazy and cold voice asked, "Who is it?"
Xia Yitong stood in place and didn't dare to move, because she was afraid that the Immortal Bell would attack that person at this moment, and judging from the range of his spiritual power just now, and the fact that he could even hide his spiritual power, she was not sure that the Immortal Ling was his opponent.
She held her breath and hid herself in the shadows, but she didn't dare move.
Fortunately, the voice did not follow, and there was an eerie silence around them.
"The host...... I, I really didn't mean to. Suddenly, the silence was broken by a trembling voice of a young girl.
"I don't want to tell the truth, do you?" said in a lazy voice, "Then do you want to peel the skin first, or boil it first, or roast it well, after all, I haven't eaten it for a long time......"
The girl suddenly screamed, her terrible voice, as if she was being tortured, Xia Yitong couldn't bear it, and was about to step forward to stop it, her voice came again, "Don't don't, master, I'm telling the truth, I know that ghost walnuts are your things, how dare you steal them?" But...... I really only took one, it really ......" The girl cried in pain.
Xia Yitong's hands tightened at her sides, her nails embedded in her palms, and she tried to adjust her breathing, suppressing the anger in her chest, hoping to hear more.
But the girl suddenly stopped talking, but kept crying, crying hysterically.
"If you don't want to be a monster, it's good to be an ordinary apple, I'll plant you in this field and make an even number with Lemon Lemon next year. ”
"Master don't, master-"
The girl's voice stopped abruptly, and the rose-red particles like fireflies flew out of the apple essence's body and flew back to the fingertips of Fengshan's white jade.
The two frogs trembled their calves and stepped forward, picked up the round red apples, put them in a box and carried them away.
Feng Shan tilted his head slightly, his sword eyebrows furrowed, but then he stretched his eyebrows again, revealing an evil smile.
"As for the one eavesdropping outside the door, what's the matter?"
Xia Yitong took a deep breath and stepped out of the shadows.
Suddenly, the world was illuminated by a dazzling white light, Xia Yitong instinctively closed her eyes, and when the light faded, she opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The broken wall has disappeared, replaced by a double-storey quadrangular gatehouse.
The red walls, gold tiles, and details of the gatehouse are painted with intricate patterns of peacock blue, and forty oval-shaped lanterns that glow warmly hang in front of the gatehouse, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
If he hadn't known that the place he was standing at this time was the door of the monster's house, Xia Yitong would definitely boast about this building, which was really gorgeous and quaint.
Two doors painted with light gold lines slowly opened outward, and two rows of frogs holding small javelins as thick as chopsticks ran out with neat steps.
A belt that shone in mid-air appeared in front of Xia Yitong's eyes with the footsteps of the young man.
"Zuo Yuming. ”
